AbstractNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in North America and Europe, with increasing prevalence in other regions of the world. Its spectrum encompass steatosis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis and cirrhosis. It is considered as the manifestation of metabolic syndrome in liver, and its development and progression is influenced by complex interaction of environmental and genetic factors. In this review we discuss the histopathological features, differential diagnoses, and the commonly used grading and staging systems of NAFLD. NAFLD associated with other diseases, histological changes after therapeutic intervention and recurrence or occurrence of NAFLD after liver transplantation are also addressed.Copyright © 2020.
